Do motivational interviewing, education, and phone or text messaging improve cardiac medication adherence in patients with cardiac disease?
Motivational interviewing, education, and messaging interventions show promise for improving cardiovascular medication adherence, though current evidence is limited by study heterogeneity.
These interventions may warrant clinical consideration; extends evidence base yet heterogeneity necessitates standardized trials.
Substantial heterogeneity limited the robustness of conclusions, but this review indicated that motivational interviewing, education and phone or text messaging appeared promising as means to enhance cardiac medication adherence. Future research should integrate multifaceted interventions that target individual behaviour change to enhance adherence to cardiovascular medications, to build on the beneficial outcomes indicated by this review.
